I am a 50-something Wife to a fabulous non-traveling Husband and Mom to an independent college age Daughter from small town Wisconsin.
At the age of 48 I took my dream trip to Paris on a tour, but as a solo traveler. It took being thousands of miles from home for me to discover myself.

I also love to write about my book addiction and all the challenges and joys of midlife.
